My hypothetical plan of, er, "attack" is:Looks like I'll have to postpone my attempt to do Northern Ireland Railways for another year.Fuck sake Sunil where is your sense of adventure. Anyway its buses we burn not trains.
The Larne and Bangor branches on Day 1.
Portrush branch on Day 2, also taking in the Causeway (can't go all that way and NOT visit the Causeway!)
Out to Derry and back on Day 3.
And the Newry line on Day 4.

Hello from Belfast where the great unwashed of Loyalism have declared an evening of rioting and house clearance.
There are I'm sure quite a few with Republican communities who would like to do their own but the orthodoxy that Irish Republicans love the asylum seekers and welcome them with open arms is strong. Some very burly looking community workers keeping locals from gathering....
I will lay it out and I suspect plenty a UK city is the same. We have had a lot of inward migration last 10 years from outside EU/wider Europe and its easy to stratify into its main groups:
Indians: Often come as families, work in tech and health. Younger members of family often seen in retail. Well integrated and have set up small clusters
West Africans: not clustered, seen all the time usually on way or going from the care homes and hospitals in which they work
Filipinos: Brought specifically in for the NHS over recent years
North East African. Somali, Sudanese. Disproportionately younger male, don't seem to be as much in the working population
Middle East Arab: Some families but disproportionately younger males,
The last two groups are the asylum seekers, the former three economic and legal migrants.
I will give you one guess where the social interaction issues with the natives lie.

The father of one of the murdered in the Nottingham 2023 case tells Ch4 news he hopes this is the last time there needs to an inquiry into the failure of public sector agencies with severely mentally disturbed potential killers.I have been saying this so often for so long that I have now turned into the human version of one of these inquiry reports: full of horrific stories, unpalatable facts, insightful analysis and useful recommendations. BUT NEVER BLOODY LISTENED TO!
To be utterly brutally frank: yeh, right like that is going to happen.
I'm sure @Cyclefree can share how we go round and around with these investigations into some major public fuck up or other and NOTHING EVERY CHANGES.

It's like "Foundation": they bought the rights, threw away the book, kept the title, did a whole new film. I actually like the WWZ film despite owning (and loving) the book. But they are two different things.Fans of "World War Z" and "Greyhound" may be pleased to know that sequels may be happening:At least people won't be able to moan that WWZ 2 is nothing at all like the book, as with the first film.

There was a GE this day in 1983.The election where the SDP/Liberal Alliance's strategy was a big failure, in the sense that their vote went up most in the seats they couldn't win, and went up least in their best prospects. Very poor targetting.
A one Tony Blair was elected for the first time.

Re: The latest Makerfield betting – politicalbetting.com
The Culture also has a Zero Gravitas..Very little needed. How much gravitas did Truss or or Johnson have?Has Andy Burnham got the gravitas to be PM?Very Little Gravitas Indeed
I'm beginning to wonder.
Let alone Trump!

Re: The latest Makerfield betting – politicalbetting.com
"It will be years, and not in my time, before a woman will lead the Party or become Prime Minister""I have as much chance of becoming Prime Minister as of being decapitated by a frisbee or of finding Elvis." - Boris.Zelensky was a comic actor too. Perhaps there is something in this, might we have been happier with a PM Mirren or Grant? Maybe in the future Emma Watson?Has Andy Burnham got the gravitas to be PM?If Justin Trudeau, a former drama supply teacher, could be PM of a G7 nation for a decade I am sure Cambridge educated Burnham could manage.
I'm beginning to wonder.
Guess who?
Thank God she was wrong.
